Today Toyota announced their fuel cell vehicle ready for prime time. Caveat: it requires the availability of hydrogen refuelling stations.

Ever since reading Jeremy Rifkin The Hydrogen Economy (2002), I've been waiting for the emergence of the vision of a hydrogen fuelled future. "Mirai" is Japanese for "the future." So Toyota made the commitment of R&D and yen to make that a reality. FYI, that vision includes hydrogen refuelling at home and the car as power station for electricity at home. I believe that means solar pv and hydrogen for energy storage. Interesting to note that they're working with the DOE to also create the infrastructure for hydrogen refuelling everywhere, starting in Boston, New York and the Northeast corridor. I'll believe when I see one down the road, but its nice to see the fuel cell vehicle finally arrive as a possibility. I won' be giving up my eBike anytime soon.
